Also modulates hid- and rpr-mediated cell death. Regulates amos function in olfactory s [...] (826 aa) |
| | shg | DE-cadherin; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. In connecting cells they preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. During oogenesis, integral component of the guidance mechanisms that regulate the directional persistent collective migration of the border cell (BC) cluster through the nurse cells to the oocyte. Functions downstream of the two chemoattractant receptors, Pvr and Egfr, to promote BC adhesion between the leader cells of the migrating cluster and the surroundi [...] (1507 aa) |
| | Egfr | Epidermal growth factor receptor; Binds to four ligands: Spitz, Gurken, Vein and Argos, which is an antagonist. Transduces the signal through the ras-raf-MAPK pathway. Involved in a myriad of developmental decisions. Critical for the proliferation of imaginal tissues, and for the determination of both the antero-posterior and dorso-ventral polarities of the oocyte. In the embryo, plays a role in the establishment of ventral cell fates, maintenance of amnioserosa and ventral neuroectodermal cells, germ band retraction, cell fate specification in the central nervous system and production [...] (1426 aa) |
| | gbb | Protein 60A; Glass bottom boat (gbb) encodes a BMP ligand in the TGF-beta/BMP family of dimeric signaling molecules. It binds to a receptor complex to transduce signal through phosphorylation of the product of Mad. It contributes to maintain stem cell populations, control cell fate specification, proliferation, synapse growth and neuropeptide release. (455 aa) |
| | tsr | Cofilin/actin-depolymerizing factor homolog; Exhibits F-actin depolymerizing activity and regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Required for cytokinesis in both mitotic and meiotic cells and for aster migration and separation. Promotes cell motility during ovary development and oogenesis. During larval development, required for the cell rearrangement needed for formation of terminal filaments which are stacks of somatic cells that are important for the initiation of ovarioles. Also required for border cell migration during oogenesis. During border cell migration, required for actin tu [...] (148 aa) |
| | snama | Something that sticks like glue (snama) encodes a protein required for cell proliferation and survival in the developing eye. It is involved in apoptosis. (1231 aa) |
| | Slik | Sterile20-like kinase (Slik) encodes a member of the Sterile-20 kinase family. It acts via Raf to promote cell proliferation in imaginal disc epithelia. Independently, Slik acts via the product of Moe to support epithelial integrity. (1703 aa) |
| | rno | Rhinoceros (rno) encodes a nuclear protein that functions in the Egfr signaling pathway, downstream of MAP kinase activation, and regulates transcription of Egfr targets. It is involved in cell differentiation and developmental patterning; Belongs to the JADE family. (3241 aa) |
| | emc | Protein extra-macrochaetae; Participates in sensory organ patterning by antagonizing the neurogenic activity of the Achaete-scute complex (AS-C). It lacks a basic DNA-binding domain but is able to form heterodimers with other HLH proteins, thereby inhibiting DNA binding. May sequester proneural proteins in complexes inefficient for DNA interaction. EMC also affects vein differentiation. Inhibits the activity of AS-C proteins by forming an non-DNA binding heterodimer. (199 aa) |
| | ru | Roughoid/rhomboid-3; Roughoid (ru) encodes an intra-membrane serine protease localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. It processes Egfr ligands in specific tissues, most notably the eye; Belongs to the peptidase S54 family. (341 aa) |
| | ecd | Ecdysoneless (ecd) encodes a protein that physically interacts with several components of the U5 snRPN pre-mRNA splicing complex. Its loss result in intron retention within spok, accounting for ecdysone deficiency of some ecd mutants; Belongs to the ECD family. (684 aa) |
